According to reporting by The Hollywood Reporter, The Batman Part II will now premiere on October 1, 2027. It is expected to start filming in the third quarter of next year.
What can fans expect from the sequel? Matt teased some information during an interview with Digital Spy.
After the conclusion to the first movie, he said, “There’s a lot of unrest and there’s a lot of clamouring because of the revelations of what we find out at the end of the [first] movie. There’s unrest in the streets to say, ‘Well, how could this be?’. The idea that this corruption extends as deep as it extends. In the first movie, Batman views things very simplistically, he sees things in black and white. What he can represent and how he can affect that.”
“As we enter into the next movie, there’s a lot more grey. There’s a lot more people at odds. There’s a lot more division in the city. It’s a lot more like our world is now, there’s a lot of turmoil because people are in their camps and they’re not communicating. How does Batman fit into that? Where do you fit? It’s not as clear as going, ‘Oh yeah, bad guy, I go after bad guys’. And when things are in grey, it makes it very hard to be Batman, so this is part of the challenge as we enter it,” he said.
Matt recently confirmed one actor that would return for the movie.
